Detailed Solution

The marked region has tropical deciduous forests. Tropical deciduous forests are the most prevalent forest type in India. They spread across the entire subcontinent and are found in areas receiving moderate rainfall of 70 cm to 200 cm. The northeast states, the Himalayan foothills, eastern slopes of Western Ghats, and the states of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Jharkhand have these forests. These forests are also known as monsoon forests and have trees with broad leaves. Sal, bamboo, teak, sandalwood, and mulberry are some prominent trees found in deciduous forests. The forests are an essential source of commercial timber. Several animals, including lions, tigers, horses, rabbits, and wolves, are common in these forests.
